The objectives of our acupuncture foundation course are:

• To implement safe & effective acupuncture and dry needling techniques, throughout the body
• To create targeted acupuncture and needling protocols for the benefit of pain & wellbeing
• To appraise & synthesise the evidence base alongside clinical experience
• To adopt a pragmatic approach to clinical reasoning for needling interventions that complement your existing skills

In our acupuncture foundation course, you will receive a fully evidence-based approach to the implementation of acupuncture. This comes with comprehensive study materials provided within the online and face-to-face components of the course. The evidence-based information you will learn from this foundation course will allow you to make fully informed decisions on how and when to introduce acupuncture into a client’s care package.

You’ll discover a large body of prominent, pertinent and up-to-date evidence supporting the use of acupuncture, whilst developing your needling skills to provide dramatic results for your clients, offering them a comprehensive package of pain relief and wellbeing.

More specifically, after completing our acupuncture foundation course you will be able to demonstrate the following needling skills and theoretical knowledge:

• Effective needling techniques upon the four limbs, trunk and spine, head and face
• Suitable identification of prominent and commonly used acupoints
• An understanding of contraindications, precautions and potential side effects of acupuncture and dry needling
• Safe application of needling at all times
• Effective management of needling side effects

After you graduate from our acupuncture foundation course, you will be able to use acupuncture & dry needling as part of your everyday practice safely, confidently and effectively.

With theoretical knowledge and application considered from both a Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, this course takes you through a large number of applications and techniques, allowing you to confidently apply acupuncture for the treatment of acute and persistent pain, as well as for stress & anxiety, temporomandibular disorder, facial neuralgias, burning mouth syndrome, facial palsy, gagging and xerostomia.

Dentists who use acupuncture do so as an alternative to invasive interventions and medication, and as an approach to allow more traditional dentistry to take place where pain, anxiety or gagging may impede a procedure. This course is designed for Dentists looking to offer a more complete package of treatment options for pain relief and wellbeing to their clients, whilst also wanting to expand their clinical knowledge and advance their own career and professional development.

Unique Blend Of Online & Face To Face

Carefully curated online content, both before and after the face-to-face component, allows you to access high quality education whenever and wherever you want, helping to reduce accommodation costs for those of you needing to travel to the face-to-face component, whilst also providing you the option to revisit theory in an engaging format, whenever and wherever suits you best.

Fully Evidence-Based Approach

Expert research knowledge is combined with practical, clinically relevant teaching to ensure you receive a fully evidence-based approach to the implementation of acupuncture. This course has clinical reasoning at the heart of delivery, making sure that you’re able to make fully informed decisions on how and when to introduce acupuncture into a client’s care package.

Your online learning access will expire 1 month following the face to face component of the course.

You will need to be a qualified Dentist, or in the final year of training to become a regulated Dentist.
